So at 5'3'' I weigh 114lbs...i did weigh 104lbs a few weeks ago but cuz of a recent stay at the hospital I ended up gaining weight after not being able to eat for a week. I wish I could go back to my previous weight but my family and everyone else for that matter wouldnt like that. So they wish for me to stay above 108lbs but I now have more fat on my thighs and stomach (which the thighs wasnt there as much as it is now but the stomach has been my hardest area to lose)..i have lost 74lbs to date and i hate that my stomach is being so stubborn and idk what to do...i follow a strict diet and fitness plan (strength 3 days a week and cardio 3-4 times a week). It has helped me get thus far but how do i get rid of the fat if my family (and in turn the doctor) has placed a weight minimum for me? can strength training with a strict diet and relatively less cardio than before help me achieve the body i have been slaving away for 2 yrs or am i doomed to be stuck so to speak where i am? i wanted to achieve my goal body size by the first or second week of january and for once in my life, spend 2010 just maintaining a body size...im so frustrated and some advice would be helpful :)
 
Hi there. I have read your other posts, and it seems to me that your doctors and family have all been telling you for a while to stop losing weight. I have to agree that at your height, 104 lbs seems dangerously low.

I think that perhaps instead of focusing losing weight, you might start focusing on reshaping your body - building some muscle, which will help you lose fat.

I'd suggest looking into weight training and body weight exercises to help build that fit, "toned" shape that you want.
 
I agree with Kara. At 114 lbs your 1 pound under your Ideal Body Weight. I think focusing more on toning maybe and less on weight would be the best Idea. At 104 lbs your going to be at 18.4 for your BMI which is almost considered underweight. Try and focus on your wants and needs rather than what other people think is best for you. Weight isnt the most important factor in being healthy. Its just a number.
